I had the chance to drive a little the BMW X4 xDrive35i, European spec model, produced in 2014.
It has the 3.0-litre engine and the 8-speed automatic gearbox.
I made a short video for my YouTube channel and blog. Hope you like it!

I will get my 35i next week
Tjalle wroteThey will die around 4700 rpm, thats correct. But in this case (35i/35d), the diesel is quicker ;-)adimfx: Very impressive -this shows why I don`t like diesels - they will die at 4700rpm.

Currently I have a car with 1550 kg, 225 bhp and 350nm- 5 speed manual (SAAB 9000 MY 97). Even with 1800+kg, my X4 will outrun current vehicle due to extremely fast shifting and 8 gears.
Tjalle wroteWhen it comes to BMW, I like the 3-litre diesel engine (no matter the power output) as much as the 3-litre petrol. Both of them are great engines to drive and to listen.adimfx: Very impressive -this shows why I don`t like diesels - they will die at 4700rpm.

Have fun with your X4! It's a real nice to drive car and I'm sure you will enjoy it!
inamik75 wroteTo be honest, I don't know. The smallest engines with Launch Control that I had from BMW are 28i (428i Convertible) and 25d (X5 xDrive25d). I don't know about the namplate 20d/20i...Do all the x4 have launch control including the 20i/20d?

Part of joy of driving for me is the 7000 rpm and engine sound in my petrol engine - regardless of 0-60 or 0-100.
I am still waiting for delivery next week to see if steering precision/steering feel is good enough.
The diesel is using a span of somewhat over 1000 rpm during the acceleration - which reminds me of the auto in the Beetle during the seventies - not to forget the Daf here in Europe.
